PSA: If your trade partner creates a private listing for you from a different account than the one you negotiated with or checked history on: it's a SCAM! Scammers do this to dodge linking the scammed order # to their main account and avoid being flagged!

user DiscordAccounts
the guy's selling "aged" and "phone verified" discord accounts that are neither aged, nor phone verified.
and to top it all of, he leaves bad reviews on whoever reports his scams.
seller also tried to gaslight me into thinking it was me who was seeing things (see other screenshot).
The guy now also falsely claimed I've tried to blackmail him (yet contrary to me, he won't post any dm's), and left me a 1 star review.
he stinks of curry and shit through the screen. low IQ indian scammer.

Also, when you go to purchase from a seller that has reviews, make sure to click through and see who left the reviews. If the reviewers have been flagged as scammers (or just smell like scammer) then the seller may be a scammer as well.

Unfortunatly I have 2 scammers to report.
Vinnlucy https://xmrbazaar.com/user/Vinnlucy/
Sibar https://xmrbazaar.com/user/Sibar/

I had contact and made a deal with Vinnlucy.
Vinnlucy said that Sibar was the original seller and forwarded me to Sibar.
After buying from Sibar they broke all contact and did not reply to anything.
Vinnlucy and Sibar might be working together or be the same person.

Be aware of Vinnlucy and Sibar!

PSA: Persistent scams in Currency Exchange category!
ALWAYS use escrow with new traders, even those with many good reviews. If an unverified/unbonded account refuses, it's almost certainly a scam: you'll send XMR first and never hear back!
Even if escrow feels inconvenient as a buyer, suggest it anyway: their reaction is the ultimate litmus test for scammers.
If the offer's too good to be true, IT IS. You won't save a dime: you'll lose it all.

I'd made a deal with Denis_the Guy that he would buy an item an item worth over GBP1000 and ship it to me. This was after the first trade for a smaller amount went smoothly. Also I figured he is also a mediator on here with many reviews so it would be ok.

Days later I found out that he in fact didn't have fiat like he claimed to have just got. He had broken the deal and got someone else involved who was supposed to buy the item but instead scammed him out of my money. But it's ok because it's all my fault for not using escrow LMFAO. I'm not here to bitch and complain. I'm just highlighting the fact that Denis_the_Guy made himself out to be too poor to return the funds meanwhile he publicly shows interest in buying land in Georgia: https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/cSBv/

Oh yeah and he is still on the mediator list.

As for the one who supposedly stole the funds he is well known in the Monero community as Moneromavrick. His profile has a scammer warning on here.

You can get a mediator but they could be a scammer.

such a shame, for real. I'm really sorry about your case, specially since I was the one of those thinking he should return you the money from his pocket, because that was his act to trust it someone else — I means, you pay the work fee specifically to cover the risks.

JayDarkLedger (now: Jay after he changed his name) is a scammer.

He offers a good trading rate (for crypto in my case). Lures you off platform but lists his off platform in his profile. After you complete the trade via a private listing on XmrBazaar (against ´fiat' he made the private listing), he requires you to go first (in my case sending BTC). He subsequently never pays, obviously.

PSA: Active fake/wrapped token scam in the Exchange category

A user (BigWhale1) is trying to scam people by “sending” BEP-20 LTC on the BNB Smart Chain.

The transaction is real and will show up on BSCScan with your correct wallet address
Example TX: https://bscscan.com/tx/0x409737e986ed63868ccbc86d68272d0d8d84cda2ab1ba6b3b3e32b8806d382c7

What looks like “5.27 LTC” being sent to you is actually a completely fake token.

How to spot it instantly:
- Click the token name “LTC” in the transaction details
- You’ll be taken to the fake contract: 0xacdb…2dfe
- Real Binance-Peg Litecoin lives at: 0x4338665cbb7b2485a8855a139b75d5e34ab0db94
- The fake one has almost no holders, no liquidity, and $0 value

This is a classic dusting/impersonation scam.

ANY interaction with the fake token (approving, swapping, etc.) or connecting to a site they send you can drain your wallet.

You didn’t receive any real LTC: nothing of value was sent!!!

Stay safe and always double-check the contract address!

Thank you for the info AilliA. I will like to add that some extra precautions can be taken, for example, checking the contract address on the official sources like websites, coingecko, twitter, etc

Be safe out there

Was that Walmart account a scammer? I noticed he had a successful trade but now his account is deleted.

https://xmrbazaar.com/listing/f2TQ/ the P1 racing simulator ad from Tecguyonline looks like a scam to me. P1 racing is a california company, not London as stated in the ad -- I guess this would be easy to check by calling P1 Racing. Several red flags - new account, trade reviews look faked, does not offer escrow on anything. Sells questionable items, overall just looks scammy. Scary thing is someone showed interest via commenting. [edit: typo]

I wish to highlight a scammer masquerading here as me, and to point out that support was forewarned, so be very careful trading here.

I have been trading in the p2p markets on many platforms under the username “Camylopez” since 2013. I started out privately and via forums, and branched onto LocalBitcoins’s In 2014.
Over the years, there have been other platforms that headhunt good traders, and help port over profiles, as it helps with the new site getting off the ground. I have always been happy to oblige good platforms.

For some reason, platforms dealing with xmr fail to do this. Yet I have this scammer masquerading as me, who ends up scamming under my name on these platforms. In the cases I generally find that they use my good history to build rapport amongst other vendors, and thus use that to build some kind of credit with them and run. It doesn’t mean they don’t scam customers either, they do both but the real con is to take loans from other vendors.

Whats concerning with this site, is escrow is not mandatory, and it appears people can step in as third party escrow agents. So someone pulling my history can really clean up here.

I was contacted by a customer advising that I had a profile here, which I didn’t. I made sure to advise them that the whole profile was fake. From their feedback we can see they have also conned another person who thinks they are dealing with me. This is not someone randomly using same username, it’s clearly an impersonation and a con.

My next step was to advise the admin of this site of the situation. I sent an email explaining the situation on 8th December US time (9dec my time in Australia) here is a link to the contents of that email.

https://share.icloud.com/photos/06eOST8JFiaCJrWiNbn44VHOQ

I know that support recieved and read that email, despite not responding. The action that was taken was to not contact me or establish any truth, but to make the fraudulent profile remove my Localcoinswap link and the fake telegram link.
Here is a link showing the before and after.

https://share.icloud.com/photos/038gTW354B_T7Cy0mSdLzflHA

As you can see, from the after their blurb still shows they are obviously impersonating me, providing my stats that can clearly be seen from my Localcoinswap profile.
Nothing further was done to prevent them doing what they do.
Unfortunately, today it appears they have scammed. I guess being contacted and told to remove the link alerted them to the fact that the game was likely up, and rather than pulling the long con, has started already. No one knows how many people they did privately, but I’m assuming a fair few.

My concern is support was forewarned and did nothing to prevent this. So anyone and everyone else here be warned that anyone on here is not Camylopez unless support want to clean up that profile and give it to me like I offered in the email.

The Twitter and telegram links are also not me, anyone with half a brain can see that Twitter was just used to add trust to the profile and flag it as “verified”
